Salvation Army Clinic celebrates ‘staff month’ in style
Medical personnel and members of staff of the Salvation Army Anidasofie Clinic at Kokomlemle, a suburb of Accra last Friday dropped their professional apparels in place of local fabric to promote the wearing of indigenous clothes, as part of the activities marking staff month celebration.
The celebration marks the 4th Anniversary of the clinic which started as a Community-based Health Planning Service, popularly known as CHPS compound, to bring healthcare to the doorstep of the clients.
The month-long celebration was launched on Wednesday, June 1, 2022,on the theme “Blood, a Source of Life.”
Some of the activities earmarked included blood donation to stock the Blood Bank to save lives, old school days, African wear day, float and games, cooking competition, staff hangout and thanksgiving service.
The Administrator of the Clinic, Nafisa Zaballah, who launched the programme of activities said “a person who feels appreciated will always do more than what is expected,” adding that the motive for the staff month celebration was “to appreciate our stakeholders,staff, clients and the nation as a whole.”
She added that within a space off our years, members of staff of Anidasofie had vigorously worked to uplift the status of the facility to reach an appreciable height from being a CHPS compound that used to take care of four clients a day to a clinic.
Ms Zaballah said the clinic had almost all the units, including the Out-Patient Department, Maternity, Laboratory, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Eye, Nutrition, Reproductive and Child Health that took care of 25 clients a day.
The administrator said the clinic would continue to pursue its core mandate and rekindle the values of commitment, hardwork and relentless effort of staff members to give the people the best of healthcare.
This, she said, was to boost the confidence and trust of clients to increase clinic attendance and promote quality healthcare to the individuals living in Kokomlemle and its environs.
MsZaballah expressed thanks to the members of staff saying: “This needs to be applauded because without the commitment level of our staff and our cherished clients, the facility would not have reached this far.”
Present at the launch included Mr. Paul Bamfo, Chief Executive Officer of Escom Ltd; former Director of Salvation Army Health Service, Mudasir Mohammed, Human Resources Administration; Samuel AbaidooDarko, Administrator, Urban Aid Clinic.

Minister for the Interior, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka, has confirmed that former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, is in prison and serving her jail term.
Speaking in an interview on Joy news, Mr. Muntaka dismissed claims that the former MASLOC boss was being held in a private location.
He said she has been in the custody of the state since she returned to Ghana.
“From the day Sedina came, she has been with us, and she’s serving her time,” he said.
The minister explained that the public is not usually told the specific prison where inmates, especially high-profile persons, are being held for security reasons.
He said even judges who sentence offenders do not necessarily know the specific prison where they are sent.
“If you want to visit her, you can write to the Prisons Service. They will talk to her, and if she is interested in you coming, she will let you come,” Mr. Muntaka stated.
According to him, disclosing the location of high-profile inmates could put their lives at risk, adding that some developed countries also keep such information confidential for security purposes.
His comments come amid public speculation over the whereabouts of Ms. Tamakloe Attionu following reports that she had returned to Ghana to begin serving her prison sentence.
